Which Skype version are you using? I find searches work normally in 7.12.85.101.

It doesn't normally happen like this, I think it has only occurred since the latest version. Normally I can select both sallies with them listed one beneath the other. I am not sure. It is very strange. They are listed in my contacts as sally g and sally k, it is odd.

So a search for Sally will match the Skype name "Sally Calvert" or the Skype ID "sally123" but not a contact whose name is "Silicon Sally" and whose Skype ID is "silsally12." Not sure if that explains your results though.

It only shows a few skype contacts, those who are on-line. I am using the latest version of skype, I am using nvda, latest versions, also latest window eyes, the same result with both screen readers, the problem is obviously with skype itself, I have tried removing skype and reinstalling it and doing a scandisk. It doesn't make any difference. I can access my contacts through skype talking. This is very odd. I am using windows 7 pro. I have just tried to do another search on skype, I typed in dave and it found that ok but when I typed in sally it wouldn't show them even though they show clearly in skype talking, also I tried Microsoft support it found that but I am still not able to access my entire contacts list. Any ideas please?
